Minister Nzimande thanked Mr Njeke and the members of the new team for making themselves available for this national service. The SAQA board is the custodian of the integrity of our national system of qualifications. Beyond that, SAQA and the three quality councils are responsible for ensuring that our integrated National Qualifications Framework continuously opens new learning and career opportunities for learners and workers.
Minister Nzimande expressed appreciation to Professor Shirley Walters, chairperson of the outgoing board, for her outstanding leadership during a difficult time of transition to new NQF legislation and a new departmental configuration. The entire board deserves thanks for maintaining course while adapting to change.
